the case and supposed to know
whether there is any truth in the re-
port say that it is not true that Miss
Louisa has compromised and her
mother, who is supposed to
have an intimate knowledge
of the young lady's intentions is en-
phatic in her denial of the report.
Preparations are being made for the
trial which is set for Monday, at
which time it has been expected that
+. J. Baldwin will have returned
from his sporting tour through the
East. Monday therefore will tell the
tale as to whether the case will go on.
A HERALD man saw Hon. S. M.
White counsel for Miss Perkins
at five O'Clock yesterday af-
teinoon and that gentleman certainly
knew nothing of compromise at that
time. G. Wiley Wells, the leading
attorney for Mr.. Baldwin, is in San
Francisco at the present time and
Miss Perkins is there also. There is
no telling what arrangement the two
have made, but the idea Of a COM
promise as shadowed above is almost
beyond the range of possibility. Imag-
inc the lofty scorn of w. 7. Williams
and the rage of Emil Harris should
such prove to be the case. Oh! no it
cannot, cannot be true.

Report That the Case Has Been
Compounded.

Compounded.
1t was reported yesterday that the
Perkins-Baldwin case, which has at
tracted SO much attention, had been
compromised, and that when it comes
up for trial on Monday next the COM
planning witness, Miss Louisa Perkins,
will not be present. Report says
that the terms OF the compromise
we're that Miss Louisa was to receive
$500 cash, or 10 per cent OF the YER
dict awarded at the former trial upon
condition that she would not appear
and prosecute the case further. It
was also rumored that Miss Louise
had received the money and was mar
ried, or about to be married, to one Of
the Fallon boys, of San Jose, and that
they will take their wedding trip to
Europe. 1t is also stated that
the fair plaintiff in the celebrated
case has been in San Franciso fox
several weeks and that t'nc
negotiations were made with hert ere,
so that her lawyers should re- .,sive
none of the money. The reason giver
for her agreement to the COM sromiss
is, that she concluded it was brtter t
accept the money offered so ,Mr thar

reports are there is no Ir cans of ascer

Youthful II ain Wreckers.

A short time since band of youths
attempted to wreck dummy train on
Temple street, melted probably by the
flashy stories of a morning contem-
porary in relation to train wrecking
at distant points on the desert. These
youths piled rocks on the track and an
ticipated a great deal OF amusement
from the wreck, but instead they fell
into the clutches of the law and yes
terday three of them, Johnny McCul-
lough, G. Guercio and j. Guercio were
examined before Justice Taney on a
charge of placing distractions on the
railway track. They were held to
answer before the Superior court in
5000 each, and do not think the situa-
ton quite SO funny.

A BENEFIT
Tendercd to j. Bond Francisco
by His Musical Friends.

Ten dercd to j. Bond Francisco
by His Musical Friends.
Wien Mr.. J. Bond Francisco made
his appearance last night on the stage
at the Armory Hall he was greeted by
an audience both numerous and select,
who had assembled to evince their ad.
miration of the merits of this popular
young artist. An excellent programme
had been arranged for rendition dur
ing the evening, and the first half ef
the entertainment went off swimming
ly. Mr.. Hawthorne sang "Tis r. in
very pleasing manner, and after a
solo on the violincello, given by Mr..
Albert Gemuender in his usual effect
i've manner, one of the center pieces
of the evenings attractions was an
nounced, being duet, Cheerful
ness" by Mrs. Mamie Perry avis
and her sister, Miss Perry. Both Of
the ladies' were in splendid
voice, singing very sweetly and
harmoniously, and at the conclusion Of
their vocalization the audience demand
ed and obtained an encore. Mr.. Fran
cisco then made his entree, and after
the applause consequent on his ap-
pearance had subsidized, gave De
Beriot's first concerto ON the violin to
the accompaniment of Miss M. Laux
at the piano. Mr.. Francisco is a very
excellent performer and his judgment
in conceiving tour OF Europe to visit
the homes of the mrses will doubtless
be rewarded by placing him well on
in the ranks of the profession. After
his performance Miss Perry Sang
"Silent Keys" and an instrumental
trio by Fesca, rendered by Messrs.
Francisco, Gemuender and Miss Laux,
closed the first half of the entertain
ment.
After the interval Miss Ella
Jennings was interesting the
audience by a piano solo
adapted from siszt's Faust, when
suddenly the fire alarm was heard
resounding over the city and imme-
diately afterwards gentleman hur-
riedly entered and after speaking to
TWO lauleS Ill tIlc duulcIlCc IL itb olieC
became palpable that something was
about to occur to mar the evenings
entertainment. And so it proved after
Il few seconds. Mr.. A. w. Francisco
on the stage and announced
that the fire was in the immediate
vicinity OF the building and that it
would be advisable for the audi
